TAUTACHROME

WE ARE TAUTACHROME

Tautachrome, Inc. is an Internet technology development company.
The Company's top priority is developing its branded KlickZie platform which will turn smartphones into trustable imagers meaning the pictures and videos they capture can be verified as original, untampered and un-photoshopped. Furthermore the technology creates imagery that is interactive and engageable. 

By clicking or tapping on a KlickZie'd image, users will be able to communicate with the image's author or others currently viewing the image in an engaging manner. The KlickZie platform will serve as the world's first imagery-based social portal network. Tautachrome, Inc. (Ticker: TTCM) is a publicly traded Delaware Corporation. It recently announced the issuance of its wholly owned US Patent number 9,582,843, a key KlickZie technology patent aimed at the authentication of smartphone imagery from a Tautachrome managed Authentication Centric Entity (ACE) KlickZie cloud.

Tautachrome, Inc. (OTCQB:TTCM) today announced the issuance of its wholly owned US Patent number 9,928,352, a key KlickZie technology patent that aims to turn smartphone imagery into “touch-to-comm” portals of social interaction.

Tautachrome’s touch-to-comm patent is the second of six KlickZie patents pending to issue. The other four patents pending cover code protection inside the smartphone and additional touch-to-com claims.

KlickZie’s touch-to-comm technology intends to make it possible for viewers of smartphone imagery everywhere to readily and safely interact with the authors and viewers of smartphone pictures from every source, and from any place in the world, using the imagery as the portal of instant communication. Effective communication requires KlickZie marking and crypto technologies that protect the interactions it enables with advanced tamper detection and imagery ownership recognition technologies that reside in the phone, in the KlickZie cloud, and in the imagery itself.

 The KlickZie touch-to-comm patent describes the KlickZie system that achieves KlickZie’s social interaction objectives with the required protections in place.

Dr. Jon N Leonard, Tautachrome CEO, said today: “KlickZie’s Touch-to-Comm technology deploys the same powerful marking and cryptographic methods that are described in the KlickZie trusted imaging patent, US patent # 9,582,843 that issued last year. These same methods are now also being deployed in KlickZie’s new cryptocurrency ecosystem based on the KlickZie KLK token and KlickZie’s zChain blockchain developed late last year for the monetizing of KlickZie imagery. I marvel at KlickZie trusted imaging reaching to both touch-to-comm and the blockchain.

 What began as marking and crypto techniques to achieve trusted imaging has now reached into marking and crypto techniques underpinning both trusted social interactions, and trusted cryptocurrency transactions on KlickZie’s new cryptocurrency ecosystem.”

The company has also begun developing patentable technology to apply our marking and crypto methods to the achievement of trustable audio files.

Essential Elements of Activation Marking

KlickZie activation-marking contains four essential elements. First, the marking is invisible so that it doesn’t spoil the utility of the imagery for enjoyment and use. Second, the activation marking is extremely difficult to extract by anyone except KlickZie, making it essentially impossible to spoof. In this way bad actors cannot pose as KlickZie. Third, the marking is distributed throughout the imagery so that we can recognize both that the imagery has been altered if it has been altered, and also how and where in the imagery alteration has taken place. And fourth, the KlickZie marking and imaging processes in the camera will be protected from hacking and reverse engineering so that hackers don’t damage the generation of useful KlickZie imagery.

KlickZie images are Activated!

   

   

Activation is the secret sauce of trustability. The fabric of trust made possible by KlickZie activation is the heart of universal imagery monetization.

Once imagery is activated and uploaded into the internet, trustability becomes a property of the imagery, not of its chain of custody or of by whom or in what way it has been handled. Trusted imagery means that third parties can be certain of the origin of the imagery and its handling, the key elements required for the dynamic usefulness and the broad monetization of imagery.

Activation allows KlickZie to recognize its users’ pictures wherever they show up and to support all manner of monetization associated with them. Under conditions set by the author, third parties can check the trustability of a KlickZie picture or video by touching or clicking the imagery.

All matters related to the monetization of KlickZie imagery are under conditions set by the author and are mediated by touch or click. For example, activated pictures or videos can be used as floating portals of communication between a viewer of the imagery and its author and among viewers using KlickZie’s “Touch to Comm” functionality.

KlickZie uses the term “activated” for its marked imagery because there is so much you can do with such imagery once you have it. You can certify the authenticity and trustability of original imagery, you can determine the nature of changes made to imagery, you can use KlickZie pictures and videos as floating portals of communication among people, you can use it as reliable evidence of when and where it was generated and by whom, and you can find the original imagery from only a fragment.

And most important of all, activation enables the effective identification of KlickZie imagery ownership, the key to the universal monetization of the pictures and videos made by smart digital imaging devices.

    

KlickZie Trusted Imagery Ecosystem

The KlickZie Token - “KLK”

The KlickZie token, KLK, will be issued on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC20 compliant token, and will be the currency of the KlickZie community worldwide to monetize their pictures and videos, creating a new ecosystem among consumers based on what people love most, imagery.

Trusted imaging will be a bedrock for both individuals and businesses in the future, but with the KLK token in place the most significant impact may be the transfer of additional wealth into the hands of the consumer. This transfer can be understood by looking at a single example: the advertising business associated with social networks.

Below, the picture on the left is how it is now. Advertisers feed ads to users and pay money to the social networks who get all the money and who distribute the users’ own content back to them with ads.

The picture on the right is how it will be done in KlickZie. Advertisers will feed ads plus KLK to users, but only to users who want the ads. KlickZie will be paid in KLK or $, or both, and will distribute the users content to them along with the ads.

  

   

KlickZie users own the imagery they create, both normal imagery and the “view only” pictures or videos, if any, that they create using KlickZie’s Private Picture feature. They also will own any proprietary communications they create using KlickZie’s Touch to Comm functionality. Ownership of imagery can be sold for KLK tokens under a standard smart contract provided in the KLK blockchain. Access to view-only private pictures and proprietary communications owned by users can also be sold for KLK tokens under standard smart contracts provided in the KLK blockchain.

  

KlickZie activates, encrypts and stores imagery and its meta data on the KlickZie cloud as it is created. Activated imagery which is subsequently modified and then shared is also stored in the KlickZie cloud. KlickZie will provide trustability reports using a standard smart contract provided on the KLK blockchain.

  

  

The KLK blockchain will record the ownership of imagery, the ownership of view-only Private Picture imagery and the ownership of proprietary communications as they are created. Sales of imagery-ownership and the sales of access to Private Picture imagery and proprietary communications made under existing KLK standard smart contracts will be recorded on the KLK blockchain. KlickZie will have no control of the KLK blockchain. The picture below shows the separation of the KlickZie cloud activities from the execution of smart contracts on the KLK blockchain.

Monetizing the KlickZie Trusted Imagery Ecosystem with the KlickZie “KLK” Token

Independently Developed Apps

The KlickZie app will be free. It will provide the engine that generates “activated” imagery and the functionality that goes with it. The KlickZie app provides a structure for a robust ecosystem that independent developers can take advantage of by creating innovative applications of their own. To assist, the KlickZie team will provide tools for app developers to easily use the KlickZie downloadable software and the KlickZie cloud to create new and valuable ways to use activated imagery.

KLK Payments, App Developers and KlickZie users

KLK payment made by a KlickZie user to an app developer will trigger a revenue sharing payment to Tautachrome under a standard smart contract provided on the blockchain.

Payments in KLK made in an exchange between users in which KlickZie services are used to generate the exchange will also trigger a commission payment to Tautachrome under a standard smart contract on the blockchain.

KlickZie Userbase Growth and KLK Awards

Consumers will be awarded KLK when KlickZie is downloaded and used. New users will be supplied with a KlickZie-provided wallet containing the awarded KLK. Also, a user whose picture prompts a download by a new adopter will be rewarded with KLK. KlickZie users will be provided options allowing them to advertise KlickZie to others via their pictures and other means, and will be rewarded with KLK tokens as their efforts result in KlickZie downloads. At user option, a KlickZie picture or video will carry the message to the effect “I’m KlickZie the amazing picture and video app. I’m free. Download me now.” These simple KLK token reward features are a natural driver of fastest possible user growth.

Awards will have the valuable effect of widely distributing KLK, providing consumers with spendable KLK. They will also be a means for KlickZie to interact with consumers who are not coin-savvy to educate them about the use of their KLK tokens. Inflation caused by these awards, if any, will be controlled by tapering the awards as the userbase grows. Awarding KLK for usage is awarding it for a valuable reason: widest possible KLK ownership.

Done properly, which means providing a KlickZie functionality of high desirability, adoption rate can be sky high, reaching more than a billion adopters in record time. The graph below shows the results of our studies on KlickZie growth with the factors we can control.

  

   

The actual growth and final size of the KlickZie user-base will depend upon our getting two things right: high adoption rate and low loss rate.

For smartphone applications, we know that

   

	·	Adoption rate is driven by application exposure and evident application desirability
	·	A low loss rate is driven by application satisfaction and ongoing necessity in the user’s life

  

KLK awards beneficially affect both factors. These things are not rocket science. But we know how they interact, and the parameters that drive them.

KlickZie Userbase Demographics

Consumers will download an application when it presents itself often and conveniently, and when it has high desirability.

For millennials (the 15-29 age group), KlickZie’s greatest desirability will be its perfected imagery privacy features. Privacy in shared imagery is extremely important among millennials, especially for women. While KlickZie’s ability to treat any KlickZie picture as a comms portal to friends will find significant interest among millennials, there is no doubt as to the high desirability of KlickZie’s extreme picture sharing privacy features.

KlickZie’s Private Picture feature will be “killer feature” for millennials because:

1. The Private Picture feature can be turned on for every picture and video made by the user, or it can be turned on selectively for just some of the pictures and videos. The Private Pictures selection actuates KlickZie’s masking technology that renders the imagery unviewable except with the KlickZie viewer software employing advanced methods defending itself from circumvention. Only people selected by the user will be able to view their Private Pictures and Vid

2. And, the user can delete access to shared imagery at any time after it has been shared, and the imagery will be automatically expunged and deleted everywhere that it has gone. (Or, access can be expunged and deleted only to certain of the people with whom it has been shared - by user option.)

The Private Pictures feature will be fully encrypted making it secure from hack and tamper.

  

We think the Private Picture feature will be valued by the youth demographic, driving a seriously fast adoption rate among them. We expect KlickZie’s youth adopters to be the fastest growth segment, with a tendency to use KlickZie features to share adventure, braggadocio, daring, and fun. The older demographics will tend to use KlickZie to better their lives, deepen their relationships, document important events, and care for personal safety. The chart at right shows the youth demographic growing first and fastest, with the older populations growing more slowly but topping out at a higher level. (The joint growth of the two populations -the “all ages” curve- matches the overall growth shape shown on the previous page.)

  

Picture Privacy will also be a big player in KLK monetary exchange as users create innovative ways to charge KLK for access to their private picture collections.

KlickZie Social Interaction (Touch-to-Comm)

A KlickZie social interaction is pictured below. (1) The user creates imagery. (2) Somewhere on earth a person views and wishes to talk to the author of the imagery. (3) The imagery is a floating portal of communication allowing communication between an amenable author and the viewer. (4) He shares as much or as little as he wishes.

  

   

KlickZie Originals from a Fragment

KlickZie’s activation is designed to recover the original imagery from a fragment of the original. An example is pictured below. Recovering the original from a fragment will be useful functionality in personal and business life, as well as in the justice system and in government intelligence activities. (Apologies to Rajesh Chopdekar of the Fall 2006 Suzuki Research Group for this example pasted up from their 2006 group photo: http://www.mse.berkeley.edu/groups/suzuki/people/photos.html.)

   

   

    

Evidence-Grade Imagery for Law Enforcement

KlickZie technology offers a new source of evidence-grade information for law enforcement. With KlickZie, the vast amount of information collected by the public can be used as reliable evidence in the justice system. Without KlickZie, pictures and videos collected by the public are useless as evidence in law enforcement because the origin and handling of this imagery cannot be known.
